DANVILLE — The Little Johns and Atkins Red Devils met for the first time in 20 years, but things got unnecessarily ugly in the fourth quarter at Little John Field as Danville won the 3A-4 Conference contest 30-13.

The Little Johns (2-7, 2-5) ended their 2012 football season with a victory and three touchdowns from Raine Cook, who recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown, then returned a kickoff 75 yards for another touchdown.

Kevin Dominguez crossed the goal line from a yard out, then added the point-after kick to give Danville a 7-0 lead with 6:05 left in the first quarter.

Atkins (5-4, 3-4) quarterback Alex Spradlin’s pass to Cole Duvall in the end zone fell incomplete, but in the second quarter, Alex Duvall scored on a 10-yard run at the 8:43 mark to tie the game 7-7. Colby Johnston added the PAT.

Three minutes later, Long hit Cook with a 35-yard touchdown pass when the Red Devils had only nine players on the field. A penalty moved the PAT attempt back, and Dominguez couldn’t hit it from 35 yards out. The Little Johns led 14-7 at the end of the first half.

Spradlin suffered three interceptions, the first by Grant Cathey at the 26. Cook’s fumble recovery and touchdown came with 3:05 left in the third quarter.

Danville led 20-6 after the Dominguez PAT, and booted a 35-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter and gave the Little Johns a 23-7 margin.

Cook intercepted Spradlin on Atkins’ next possession, but Cole Duvall stripped the football out of Dominguez’s hands at the 28 for Danville’s first and only turnover. The Red Devils capitalized when Spradlin threw to Brandon Burns for a 5-yard touchdown. The 2-point pass was no good, and Atkins trailed 23-13 with 10 minutes to go in the game.

That’s when Cook hit the left side and returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for the game’s final touchdown. Dominguez set the final with his PAT at 9:52.

The Red Devils, the fourth seed from the 3A-4, will be on the road in the first round of the playoffs next week.
